Organized in 1864, we are theBricklayers Local 1, and the first Labor Union and Local of any trade west of the Mississippi River. The Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Administrative Council of Eastern Missouri represents Local 1 of Missouri bricklayers, stone, pointers/cleaners/caulkers and marble masons, and Local 18 of Missouri tilesetters, terrazzo and mosaic workers.

We take pride in the fact that we've built St. Louis, and that our leadership has taken care of the membership of this Union for more than 150 years, and will continue to do so for many more.

As reported in the joint ADC Informational Meetings livestreamed on our Facebook page in April 2020, below is a list of the Urgent Care Facilities with a $5 copay for BAC Members and their dependents with IHF Insurance beginning May 1, 2020.

Please consult this list for specific locations with the reduced copay before seeking treatment. If the location you use is not listed here, the copay will be the normal $30 rate.

Officers and Members of Bricklayers' Local 1 have an active job action against the new Cedarhurst Assisted Living being built on Old Lemay Ferry Road at Church Road in Arnold, MO, for hiring a non-Signatory Contractor, Canyon Stone, from Kansas City. This non-Signatory Contractor pays workers substandard wages and benefits on a project that has received tax incentives from the city of Arnold.

Thanks to Retired Local 18 Tilesetters Steve Hanlon and Richard Hanlon for volunteering their time to assist us with this job action!

At this time all construction sites are continuing to work. Please practice social distancing, and proper sanitizing throughout the days ahead of us. These are very trying times that will present more challenges ahead of us.
